lame instagram posts by pros

[Magnolia]

used to work at a shop in la and it was pretty frequent that i’d get people who rode for bones coming in to trade those chalky ass wheels for spitfires. they really can’t even give them away for free.

Yea that text sounds like he's still riding spits lmao. "I'm definitely on the wheels you sent me, ride em all the time"

[too fakie]

Poor kid… if he ever gets good enough to be on Spitfire flow, they’re gonna make him burn all three of those Bones shirts while he’s wearing them.
Not to worry, though; they’ll send him one shirt to replace those three.
And hopefully they ship a tube of Alocane with his new shirt, as well.

They should immediately flow this kid and post him on their Instagram wearing a Spitfire shirt.

Probably on a secret hellride as we speak

Keeping the underground (rider's tee shirt drawer) lit

[SR ACF]

I mean, the whole "burn the shirt" thing is a little over the top, but if I was a TM for a company and one of our flow riders was out there sporting gear from our literal biggest rival I'd feel pretty fucking pissed and dissed too. I legit might fire them on the spot. Like seriously how can you not see that this would be an issue? How fucking dumb is this kid?

Dumb enough to afterwards go to the skateshop and let people take snaps of the convo. As if that TM ain't gonna get wind of this thread. Idiot.

Extra fucking dork points for telling him to burn it "(in a safe place of course)". Thanks for the tip nerd!

This would be the most baller move ever. Come on DLX, I know you're reading this thread!

[Coastal Fever]

Please Jim sponsor that boy.

[FatGuy92]

In all honesty, I'd rather buy spitfires than get free bones wheels

[Abyss1]

For real certain types of flow I would say no to, most flow shops should let you pick out some formula4s

I can agree with that.

I was joking, he's definitely pushing it on everyone.

The worst part is when Christians claim that what they believe is true because the Bible said so, but then also believe that every other religion that is based on a book is clearly false.

He was at a party at my house around 2000, and all I remember is that he kept asking for “RAMONES!!” to be played and “PORNO!!” on the tv from the same seat on the couch all night.

I'm your Huckleberry.

In which city did this soiree occur? What were you celebrating? Was it your own place or did you have roommates? Was Brain Sumner the only professional or amateur skateboarder (or person affiliated with the skateboard industry) in attendance? Did other members of the Warner Avenue Crew make appearances? Did it get broken up by the cops? Are you the sort of host who makes his guests remove their shoes at the door?  What sort of snacks did you offer party-goers to much on?

Hopefully one of these inquiries will incite you to further expound on the details of that evening with a titillating story or two that features someone we may all be aware of...

Here goes Mr. Lawndale.

It’s not that exciting, so sorry if I oversold it; these are gems to me and here it is.

Pomona, CA.
My roommate and best friend at the time had made the team for the local skate shop the same day as a demo with the pros in this post.
Roommates.
Also in attendance were Ali Boulala, Jim Greco and skate photographer Theo Hand.
No cops.
Shoes allowed.
Burgers, dogs & keg o’ beer provided.

Short and sweet of it is as follows:

Everybody was cool (Greco was maybe a little too cool).
Greco signed my friend’s copy of Misled Youth with a silver sharpie and proceeded to pass out in the recliner by the sliding patio door where some passerby left a cheeseburger on his head that stayed there for 20-30 minutes as he slumbered.

I had to repeatedly hide my bathroom air freshener from Boulala because he kept huffing it. I still remember him saying to me repeatedly “Give me the thingie! I want the thingie!!” Apparently it had ether in it.

Not very juicy, but some fond memories of yesteryear…

[nonickname]

The Bones TM should have just replied "give that shirt to a homie or a kid at the park who would be stoked to have it - or hell donate it to a charity clothing drive to spread the joy" but then remembered this was a "pro" IG post discussion...now back to the real work of tracking down one of those B.A. Metal boards here in Canada (shipping from the U.S shops that have em' are running $45-50 USD before duties).

Bone Redz is one of the best selling products in skateboarding. you should get the account just for the bearings

[Yonnycage]

My buddy got a Bones box once and threw that shit behind a ramp at our DIY. Said he’d rather keep skating his worn down, flatspotted 40mm “rubber bands around the bearings” wheels as he called them. Don’t think I’ve ever skated their wheels but everyone I know that has says they’re Walmart-tier

I rode for powell for almost a decade. Getting kicked off of powell in ‘97 was the best thing that ever happened to me skateboarding wise and skateboarding career wise. This sounds harsh, but that company has been trash ever since Stacy and Jim Fitzpatrick left the company.. there are some really awesome people who have worked there (shit, Ty evans was my TM for awhile) and the majority of the people that have been pro and am for them are pretty awesome people too. But still, powell has been irrelevant since 91/92….
